* Music/OzzyOsbourne has been calling himself the "Prince of Darkness" for decades, and his stage show is full of scary Halloween imagery. His music is vanilla heavy metal. Well-done vanilla, but vanilla nonetheless, because he's the TropeMaker, naturally (with Music/BlackSabbath, which used to describe their work as "horror films turned into music") -- he's victim along with Music/LedZeppelin of the [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny Ozzy Is Unheavy]] effect.

* Music/HowlinWolf was a tall and imposing man, with a GutturalGrowler voice that could scare people out of their wits. Yet in reality, he was a nice and friendly person.

True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


* Music/ArthurBrown is particularly well-known for his weird, [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible often nonsensical songs]] that often has him screaming and laughing throughout the track, and if performing it live, will do so in a white robe with a flaming metal hula hoop on his head. Outside of his stage persona however, Brown is incredibly polite and friendly with those he speaks to.

** Eminem's offstage personality deserves a mention. Duing the moral panic, those who met him would endlessly remark on how sweet and soft-spoken he is when out of character, and he also prides himself on being a great father, and this has served him well as he's shifted his image to be more socially acceptable. However, during his drug addiction he would punch audience members and use his platform to [[MuseAbuse humiliate his mother and wife]], and even in sobriety he retains a mean and brooding side to his personality that is congruent with someone who writes the disturbing lyrics he still sometimes does.
